The alarming rate of STDs testing positive in hospitals is a pressing concern that demands attention. Specifically, the prevalence of HIV, Syphilis, Hepatitis A and B is becoming increasingly common in Nigeria, affecting individuals across all age groups, including those under 17. I implore you: if you cannot abstain from s*x, please practice safety control measures. No disease is pleasant to contract, and even after treatment, your immune system may be weakened, making you vulnerable to further infections. Be mindful of what you share and with whom you share it - personal belongings have always been a key aspect of safety practices. Pregnant women with STDs, please inform your healthcare practitioner to ensure the child's safety. It's heartbreaking to see children test positive for diseases they don't understand. Remember, health is wealth, but only for those who follow safety protocols. Hope Foundation and healthcare services are always available to support you.
